There are lots of them that really creep me out, but this one stands out (plus it was just on the TV).

Every time I see this I can't help thinking of the Hitler Youth and the SS.

Even if I wasn't watching what I eat--and although Toaster Strudels are pretty tasty--I wouldn't buy them just because of this ad (and others like it for the same product).

Any of the toilet paper commercials with the bears that have toilet paper stuck to their bottom.

The Old Spice Commercial with the moms!

This commercial, for an anti-depressant, is so depressing that it makes we want to ask for a prescription for an anti-depressant.
On the other hand, the side-effects are so depressing that the cure may be worse than the disease. Which is, in itself, depressing. This ad is like a Mobius Strip of depression or something by M.C. Escher. If he suffered from depression.

I despise the toilet paper / moist wipes commercials with a woman encouraging us to talk about our bums (but am somewhat amused by the "freshey-fresh" commercials for the exact same product).

Any of the toilet paper commercials with the bears that have toilet paper stuck to their bottom.

They have those tp commercials because the censors canned the ones with the rabbits.
(hoping I m not the only one that knows the joke)

anything with Chad Stevens

The Reynolds Ford commercials on NewsOK that autoplay at incredibly loud volumes make me want to punch through a wall.

I'm not sure when a commercial crosses the line from simply annoying to creepy, but that Edmond Hyundai spot comes close.

Any E.D. commercial with old people. My parents are still alive and together and don't want to think about that.

I had to really think hard to figure out what you meant by E.D. Then it came to me.
People sitting in bathtubs on the beach is definitely in the category of creepy.
(Like, Felliniesque/Salvadore Dalian creepy.)

(yet, not as creepy as those old EX-tendZ ads that, thank goodness, have disappeared from the airwaves)

(or any of those 2 Sell Homes commercials. they have creepy written all over them. in the subtitles)

Those 2 sell homes ads also make me want to punch through a wall. I hate those ads!

We were having dinner last night and an anti-smoking commercial came on where a pretty girl was buying menthol cigarettes and she started peeling her face off. OK, I hate cigarette smoke as much as anybody but peeling your face off on a commercial? We were trying to eat for crying out loud!

I don't even get this commercial. He has Skittle teeth because his real teeth are missing? That does NOT make me want to buy Skittles - or let me kids buy them.

Are you stealing my Thunder ('r whut)? =)
Oh. Wait. Edmond Hyundai already did that.
Creepy.

O2vBJt1iG60

That's the ad that put Michael "Cosmo Kramer" Richards on the wrong road.
(somebody call the FDA/FCC/EPA/EEOC/ETC. !)

(no kidding: even the freeze-frame of the vid was creepy. and i have no fear of clowns.
i got over that by overcoming my fear of Howdy Doody. but just barely.)

(into what did "Sugar Rice Kinkles" morph? perhaps Count Krunchula without the chocolate flavor?)

This isn't the original commercial . . . yet you might get the idea:
Apparently the doofus didn't know that you NEVER pour cold water into a radiator without the engine running.

Thank goodness even "the younger generation" (or at least a member thereof with video production skills) understands what really matters.
Concerning Classic Cars.

"It's a poor workman who blames his tools. It's a real dumbass who buys into this sort of nonsense." =)

Sugar Rice Krinkles - who the hell came up with that name. As for what they morphed into - I think maybe Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles (which happen to be 2 of my favorites).

Don't even get me started on Cap'n Crunch, Quisp or Quake.
The ads weren't so creepy back in the day. They are now. =)
I'm surprised that they didn't include certificates for Candy Cigarettes and Bubblegum Cigars in the box.

And this is exactly what the First Amendment was added to protect. =)

I had heard that the Duracell Bunny almost died when it marched out of it's own commercial and into a commercial for a home pregnancy test.

Those 2 sell homes ads also make me want to punch through a wall. I hate those ads!

I'm still shocked they are doing those again after serving jail time for the last scam (in the same line of work) they did.

Does Wava's new plastic face, that she apparently bought after selling off NuSound, count as creepy?

Give her a red nose, an oversized ruffled collar and a pair of inflatable shoes and she might qualify for creepy.
(unless it's an ad for The Stepford Wives for The New Millennium, in which case Linda Soundtrack should do the voiceover)


"Oooooooo . . . That would be TOO creepy (of a commercial)"

Ascerbic Comedy Gold, Amigo.
(can you believe that people buy daily into all this stuff providing programming? =)

I refuse to watch or listen to commercials. Period. I quit listening to them.
about 1985. The sounds were totally offensive, meaning unappealing to my
ears, sonically, and intellectually void. If I heard one more potato chip
crunch or someone telling me I needed an item I was going to go nutz. Duh.
During the 1986 Superbowl I quit watching commercials for the same
reasons.

In my truck I have a watch with a countdown timer set at 55 seconds
velcroed to my steering wheel. When a commercial comes on I turn off the
radio and cycle through the time a few times. Usually it's safe to listen after
4 minutes. It's better to miss some of the programming, like Classic Rock
107 then hear any portion of a commercial. With TV I use my iPhone and
have the programs I watch timed so I don't have to see a commercial.

F'rinstance, MASH on 5.2 there's a 4 minute commercial break and the
next is two minutes. The same goes for all of the 30 minute programs
on that network. The 60 minute shows are a little different.

I enjoy being commercial free, but I'd never want them to be outlawed.
Afterall, they pay for my TV!

In two years it will be 30 years since I voluntarily listened or watched a
commercial.

Does that mean that there aren't any commercials that creep you out?

How can something I don't see or hear creep me out? I will say this, the
mascot for Burger King is quite creepy.

Yup. The Burger King Ads are creepy. Really creepy.
I don't think he is really smiling.

(yet, i have to admit . . . Burger King is capable of offering a superior fast food burger.
I think it's the Liquid Smoke rather than the flame broiling.)

The Burger King Icon officially creeps me out.

(and i just figured out why: He's a cross between the kid in line ahead of Ralphie and his little brother in "A Christmas Story" (the one wearing the aviator helmet and goggles) and that old dude in those Mexican Beer Commercials. =)

No poop. I like BK burgers but that king is a total creep.

Any commercial of the N.O. Pelicans King Cake Baby would make me have nightmares.

Any commercial of the N.O. Pelicans King Cake Baby would make me have nightmares.

Somewhere, in the archives, exists the perfect representative of that vision.
I think it was in the David Lynch film, "Eraserhead".

I wonder which furniture huckster, car dealer or drug rep will be the first to snap that up and use it to sell a product.

When they do, it will creep me out.
(yet not as much as The Toaster Strudel Proto-Nazi from Pillsbury =)

There's something about Wava. Funny, I don't hear her; totally tuned her out. Ironic, huh?

Geez . . . That took "creepiness" to the next level.
(at least to me).
Congratulations! =)

(really: i don't know who Wava is. Is she that guitar huckster's sidekick?)
(that mysterious man in black with cheap guitars for sale? sort of a don diego/zorro wannabe? with a guitar for sale)

She looks like Bruce Jenner, That is scary.

Damn. I'm so glad I don't watch or listen to commercials.

Talk about creepy. Ick.

I've heard of Bruce Jenner. Who is he?

I've heard of Bruce Jenner. Who is he?

Was a former Gold Medal winner. Nowadays I don't know how to answer that question. It would take a devotion to E! TV that I am not capable of.

When i go back to OKC its those awful commercials for jerky that make me cringe.

I've heard of Bruce Jenner. Who is he?

He is a former Kardassian.
(and olympic flag-waving decathaloner from back when the Olympics actually meant something)

Hopefully, a Commercial featuring Bruce and Honey Boo Boo reflecting on past and future mistakes is just over the virtual horizon of Creepy-ness.

I'm thinkin' "Hooked on Phonics".
(with a cameo by Arnold Schwartwhatever and Miley Cyrus.)

My friends, I can't bear watching any of the uploaded commercials. Please
forgive me.

I bought my first stereo from her. That clip brings back memories.

Linda Soundtrack was Famously Creepy, Locally.
(like Alan Merrel and his Mexican Market plus that other AutoDickhead without a speech impediment)

Thank you for capturing the essence of "Creepy-ness" vis-a-vis television advertising.

Still . . . The Pillsbury Strudel Nazi has her beat (for creepiness) =)
imho

Hi, I'm Tom Padgham! With a wad of money in his hands.

What was the name of the Insurance Agency on Classen back in the day? Tall Paul or something like that. Also Lynn Hickey had some good ones that were annoying as well as entertaining.

I can't believe I couldn't remember the Creep responsible for some of the Creepiest Commercials ever.
thanks. wasn't his tag line . . . "We'll Deal" while fanning the wad of monopoly money in one of his fists.

Truly a Creepy Commercial.

Edited to Add:
The "Tall Paul" Ads are extra creepy because of all the Muffler Men Statues on "Roadside America" =)

Paul Meade Insurance. The office is still there with a big sign out front. Thank goodness they don't advertise anymore. Every time I see the sign I still hear "Call five two four one five four ooooooonnnnnnnnne". Ouch, my head hurts now!

Those laser skin commercials - those "doctors" do not look natural at all.

They'd look even less natural if ya could get them to do the little air quotes every time they say "laser"

"I-40 and Sunnylane, on the Tinker Diagonal,... Del City"

Achilleslastand,
The Tall Paul commercial/jingle ended with their phone number "524-1541". I only remember it because the company I worked for at the time, Lear Siegler was 524-1441.

I only remember the main part because an old friend could say the opening "Hi" part just like Tom Padgham. I'm not sure about the "We'll Deal".

I don't know about creeping me out, but this commercial definitely disturbs me.

No word if the girl was also conceived in the back seat.

Lol JTF, that one brings back memories. A couple of years after my lovely and I wed, we bought a little subaru wagon off pastor/2ndcousin of my lovely. We, and the children as they came along, logged a lot of miles in that little wagon before turning it into a hay wagon for the dad of a friend when it would still run but did not belong on interstates any longer..

We pretty much lived that commercial.

Brown's Furniture in Shawnee. Any commercial about Viagra or anti-depressants and the side effect statements. NBA players telling me not to use the word Gay or Bart and Nadia telling me to not say retarded. I actually do not use the words in a derogatory manner but I do not need athletes telling me what words I can say and not say especially since athletes use a lot of words I find offensive. The Mukembe Mutambo commericals. The I am... and I am Chickasaw commercials. They should say, The Chickasaws: More than just casinos.

Bigray in Ok

My most revolting was the ED product which featured a guy named Bob, with persistent whistling of a most annoying tune. Haven't seen (heard) it lately, thank goodness.
